Idler arm assembly.....

[Graeme]

It's been such a bloody long time since I pulled the beast apart....

Idler arm bracket and idler arm - is there a rubber "seal" at the joining of the two.  I was very careful pulling all this apart and there is no seal anywhere in my parts bin.....

Have I lost it or was it not there to start with?

Graeme of the lost memory.......

ps: the photo's/diagrams in my workshop manual are not clear on this.

From memory a cup shaped one that the nut shaped bearing bit with the grease nipple on it turns into. The seal itself sits on the bit that bolts to the car body pointing downward. Looks like it just keeps the grease in and the dirt out. Its been a while so maybe I'm not correct.

Thanks, SEB, that makes sense.

In that case I am missing a "seal/dustcover"........

Back to searching the storage cupboard............

Thanks, Craig.  

A good picture tells a thousand stories, well one story in this case.

Graeme.....who is now searching for the missing seal....
